You’re right, Billy Graham was a built like a Soviet tank! He was a bit before my time but, he was straight shooting kinda guy. I just know about that haircut, its like a cross between Hogan, and a Confederate general.
I can’t get the link while at work, but there’s a video on youtube of a seriously old bodybuilding contest, with Jimmy Snuka and Ricky Steamboat competing. Both guys looks amazing despite the poor quality of the film.
(Someone find this and throw it up please!)

He kinda looks like George Washington on steroids.
